...and I also know what you are saying. Of course meeting the officers is a mandatory element in a sound investment strategy...especially in one like this.
I also have had the pleasure of meeting the officers quite a few times, be it at share holder meetings or exhibitions or share holder receptions. These were important moments indeed.
Our management has mostly been very accommodating to shareholders. But many of us have been here approaching a decade or even longer. We think we know the "grand plan" and we know that we are closer than ever...
But management also must realize that the lenient years are over and that shareholders have a damn right to ask for more concrete guidance hence forward.
We've all been good to management. We've been accommodating share holders. We've been the best share holders any company could ever wish for. We've provided the money for the company to get to the water. It was us!
It's time for management to reciprocate! And make no mistake this is the attitude I will take along to the annual share holder meeting this year.
Maybe a first step in upping the relationship with long time share holders and demonstrating respect to all share holders would be to announce the time frame for the annual share holder meeting! We all have to plan!
